Handcrafted Cross Greets Chapel Visitors
A beautiful, handcrafted cross made of solid cherry wood now hangs in the foyer of Georgetown College’s John L. Hill Chapel. Crafted in the style of a Latin cross, the wood was selected, stained and finished by Bart Horne, the College’s director of facilities and grounds. Kevin Herbert, maintenance technician, and Fred Cook, carpenter, did the assembly and installation. In Christianity, the cross is a symbol of the atonement and reminds Christians of God’s love in sacrificing his own son for humanity. It represents Jesus’ victory over sin and death, since it is believed that through his death and resurrection he conquered death itself. As a Christian institution, Georgetown College proudly provides sacred space in John L. Hill Chapel to bless members and friends of our campus community. We are grateful for the addition of this new cross and hope that all who encounter it will be blessed.
